Armed suspects invade, rob home in Arcata

On Tuesday at about 9:56 p.m., the Arcata Police Department received a report that a home invasion robbery had just occurred in the 2100 block of Eastern Ave. The investigation revealed that two suspects entered the residence through an unlocked door and confronted two occupants of the home. One suspect was armed with a handgun and the other was armed with a knife. One suspect held the victims at gun point, while the other suspect searched the residence.
